Loyalty and rewards programs are powerful tools for brands to boost member engagement, acquisition, and retention. Learn why leading brands are turning to modern customer identity and access management (CIAM) solutions to scale their loyalty programs, improve user experience, and maximize ROI.
In this paper, we identify the challenges associated with transforming, expanding, and scaling customer loyalty and rewards programs and related membership initiatives, and present solutions based on real-world case studies from four industries. We explore the requirements for an enterprise-grade CIAM solution and address related issues such as build vs. buy and CIAM vs. IAM.
By examining four diverse case studies — and the resulting identity management solutions that were implemented by the respective companies — this paper provides valuable insight for any enterprise wishing to expand or uplift its customer loyalty program to meet membership needs in the age of the consumer.

In today’s markets, customer identities and the personal data associated with them are among the most critical and valuable assets of any enterprise. Managing these digital identities — from first registration and login to the later stages of the customer relationship — and extracting business value from the associated data are complex tasks, commonly referred to as customer identity and access management (CIAM).
When implementing a system to collect, manage, and utilize digital identity and customer data, companies have two basic choices: in-house development or buying a dedicated solution from a vendor specialized in CIAM (i.e., build vs. buy).
Read this white paper for an in-depth analysis of CIAM implementation options, including:
? Must-haves for a successful, enterprise-grade CIAM system
? Pros and cons of implementation options, ranging from in-house software development to commercial off-the-shelf solutions
? A real-world case study that illustrates the ROI of an effective CI

Customer identity and access management (CIAM) is increasingly important for brands to deliver the seamless, secure digital experiences demanded by empowered consumers. As part of its Identity and Access Management Playbook, Forrester Research provides guidance to build a customer-obsessed IAM team that has the technical skills, business influence, and interpersonal attributes to architect a CIAM strategy and roll it out across functional groups.
Read the full report to learn critical considerations to make your CIAM team effective. Report highlights:
? Four essential roles for your CIAM team
? Why sharing and integrating customer data across organization barriers is critical for success
? The most important technical, business, and interpersonal skills to look for in CIAM candidates

Privileged identity, accounts and credentials are core, critical assets for enterprises that must be highly protected through a combination of technology and processes which are enabled by privileged access management.
Delivering that protection is instrumental in breaking the data breach kill chain, helping to prevent attacks and mitigating the impact of those that do occur.

Organizations must confront the reality that insider attacks are a significant threat and increasing in complexity. Given that so much of an organization's assets and information are online and accessible, organizations must take a proactive approach to defending against the insider attack. This proactive attack should involve a range of solutions that address identity and access management and information protection. Nothing can completely prevent all insider attacks, but those who adopt an aggressive proactive approach can help reduce risk, improve compliance, and enable the IT organization to better support business initiatives.

The identity and access management challenges that exist in the physical world - identity management, application security, access control, managing sensitive data, user activity logging, and compliance reporting - are even more critical in the virtual environments that are growing in use as IT seeks to streamline its operations and reduce operating costs. However, security risks are increased due to the nature of the virtualization environment and IT should seek to extend their security solutions from the physical server environment to the virtualization environment as seamlessly as possible.
Continue reading this white paper to learn how CA Content-Aware IAM solutions help protect customers in the physical world and similarly protect virtual environments by controlling identities, access, and information usage.

In today’s complex and distributed IT environments, identity and access management (IAM) programs do much more than simply manage user identities and grant access. This paper provides four key steps that can move you toward a more mature solution now.

Cloud adoption, mobility, social media and the consumerization of IT are transforming many business activities for enterprise employees, partners and customers and eliminating the traditional network perimeter. Organizations have to change how they manage security and user identities if they want to keep their data and applications secure. Read this eBook to discover how a centralized identity and access management service can help you create a new identity perimeter.

Most organizations want to leverage the cloud, but also recognize that migrating all their applications at once is not always practical. They are seeking ways to utilize cloud-based services while maintaining certain applications on-premise. For organizations utilizing this hybrid architecture, one of their major challenges is providing users with the flexibility to seamlessly move around the environment while still maintaining appropriate security levels—or more specifically, ensuring consistent control and security policy between on-premise applications and cloud services.

Quocirca surveyed over 300 organisations across the UK, France, Germany, the Nordics, Benelux, Italy, Iberia and Israel on their attitudes to cloud-based services. The research revealed that cost is not the only thing driving the adoption of cloud services; improved efficiency and easier external interaction are also important. Another finding was that impediments to cloud adoption vary significantly by industry. A key finding was that “cloud enthusiasts” are more aware of, and likely to invest in, security technologies like identity and access management than “cloud avoiders”.

The right identity and access management solution can integrate with a healthcare provider’s EMR system to help keep sensitive medical data safe—and keep the organization compliant. It can provide valuable insights and visibility into accounts, access privileges and entitlements, across the wide range of users. By closing the gaps in identity protection, organizations can fight the threats of inadvertent misuse and intentional theft that may lead to security breaches.
